DVC Indoor Shooting Range; It's a Blast!

I never thought that shooting a gun would be something fun for a Friday night with my ladies, but boy, was I wrong!

I organized an outing with some friends to go to the shooting range, and we picked a Friday because it was ladies night. That's right, ladies night Friday night; we saved $30 each!

We pulled up to DVC indoor shooting range in Port Coquitlam, and found ample parking outside. There was a line up outside the locked door, so we got ready to wait.

There is a cap on how many people are allowed in the building at a time, so we waited until we were let in. We then filled in a waiver (which can be printed ahead of time and brought in), and were given the low down on the guns by an employee.

The employee was professional and friendly, and explained all the options to us. He was very helpful and well trained. He helped us pick out the right guns for us and we decided to share five different guns.

We were then brought into a small room for a safety talk, where one of the employees took us through the steps on how to hold the gun, how to set it down, and all the other protocol. It was a bit overwhelming! We were starting to get nervous and excited.

Finally the time came when we could enter the range. We were given eye and ear protection and brought into the range. The man assigned to us was very friendly and helpful and walked us through it every step of the way. We ended up having to employees assist us in two different "lanes" as there were five of us shooting and we were alternating guns.

Not once did I feel unsafe or unsupervised; it was very controlled, safe and fun!

We arrived around 8pm and were done at 10. I'm sure it would be faster if you weren't trading weapons, and were just sticking to one per person.

I would recommend DVC indoor shooting range if you're looking for something different to do, and want to learn how to shoot in a controlled environment.

If you have 10 or more people, you can make a reservation. Otherwise, it's first come, first served.
